WHEEL THROWING FOR BEGINNERS

You will start your journey in pottery with the basics of wedging, centering, pulling up, shaping and trimming. You will be able to throw your first pieces! You will have moments during this course to reflect with your teacher and through the feedback of your fellow students you will be able to progress quickly.

During this course you will also learn how to glaze your pieces and we will fire them for you after glazing.

Depending on the amount of weeks a certain amount of pieces can be fired and glazed during this course (6 pieces max. for 8 weeks and 8 pieces max. for 10 weeks). The main focus in a course is on techniques, the process and practicing. Not on producing as many pieces as possible. If you wish to continue making with ceramics, please consider a membership during or after this course. 

After this course, for those who feel confident and wish to continue creating and experimenting by themselves, you can sign up for a membership at Pansa. You might already be able to start this during the course. We will guide you in these steps. Many of our former students became makers and now use the studio as full time members.

Please ensure you are able to attend as many of the scheduled course dates as possible before you sign up. The courses are usually full, so we can’t move people between them.
